Preview: Mariners at Rockies
Gracenote
Jul 14, 2018
Few players are heading into the All-Star break as hot as Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, who was selected for the Midsummer Classic for the first time following a torrid first half. Story is batting .425 this month for the Rockies, who continue their three-game interleague series against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
Story homered and drove in four runs while Carlos Gonzalez added three hits and scored three times in Friday’s 10-7 victory as the Rockies won for the eighth time in 10 games. The Rockies' bullpen has been an ongoing area of concern, but Adam Ottavino continued to be a bright spot with two strikeouts in a scoreless eighth inning on Friday. Seattle lost for the sixth time in nine games despite receiving three hits from Ben Gamel, who made his second start of the season in center field. Gamel started in place of the slumping Guillermo Heredia, who grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning and is 19-for-110 since June 1.
TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (5-0, 3.39 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Jon Gray (7-7, 5.77)
LeBlanc won his second straight start on Sunday, allowing four runs and five hits over six frames against Colorado. The 33-year-old has not lost a start since 2014 and has yet to lose in a Mariners uniform, going 8-0 with a 3.80 ERA in 29 games (21 starts) across his two stints with Seattle. Gonzalez is 6-for-18 with three homers against LeBlanc, who owns a 3-3 record and 6.46 ERA in 10 career appearances (8 starts) versus the Rockies.
Gray was the Rockies’ Opening Day starter but was demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on June 30 after posting a 7.25 ERA over his last nine outings. The 26-year-old Oklahoman is being recalled after two starts with the Isotopes to replace scheduled starter Chad Bettis, who remains out with a blister on his right middle finger. “Jon has delivered many times as a major-league starter the past couple of years,” manager Bud Black told reporters. “We’re confident he can do that Saturday.”
WALK-OFFS
1. Mariners LHP James Paxton was placed on the 10-day disabled list with inflammation in his lower back, but the team is optimistic he’ll be able to rejoin the rotation next weekend.
2. The Rockies placed RHP Antonio Senzatela on the 10-day disabled list with a blister on his right middle finger.
3. Seattle optioned INF Gordon Beckham and RHP Nick Rumbelow to Triple-A Tacoma and recalled RHPs Casey Lawrence and Mike Morin from the Rainiers.
PREDICTION: Mariners 7, Rockies 3

Preview: Athletics at Giants

The Oakland Athletics have won five consecutive series, but that streak will be in jeopardy when they visit the San Francisco Giants on Saturday for the middle contest of their three-game interleague set. Oakland, which is 7-0-1 in its last eight series, managed only three hits Friday as it opened the first installment of the Bay Bridge Series with a 7-1 setback.
Chad Pinder produced one of the Athletics' hits, a solo home run in the fifth inning that gave him two blasts and four RBIs over his last three games. Rookie Steven Duggar led the charge for San Francisco, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored, while Buster Posey also recorded two hits and drove in a pair of runs. The 24-year-old Duggar has hit safely in each of his first four major-league contests as he is 6-for-21 with three doubles and three RBIs. Brandon Belt hopes to regain his swing as he has gone 0-for-8 over the last two games after going 8-for-15 over his previous four contests.
TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS California (Oakland), NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 5.75 ERA) vs. Giants RH Jeff Samardzija (1-5, 6.42)
Anderson's return from a lengthy stay on the disabled list due to a strained shoulder was an impressive one as he scattered three hits over five scoreless innings in a victory at Cleveland on Sunday. The 30-year-old Texan had not pitched since May 18, when he allowed two hits in one frame at Toronto before exiting with the injury. Anderson has made nine career starts against San Francisco, going 2-4 with a 4.53 ERA.
Samardzija also came back from a stint on the DL that lasted over a month last weekend but was not as fortunate as Anderson as he suffered the loss against St. Louis on Saturday after giving up three runs and seven hits in five innings. The 33-year-old native of Indiana, who is winless since his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels, hadn't pitched since yielding two runs in one frame of a loss at Colorado on May 29. Samardzija owns a 2-2 record and 7.92 ERA in four career starts versus Oakland.
WALK-OFFS
1. Athletics 2B Jed Lowrie (leg) exited the series opener in the fifth inning after colliding with teammate Stephen Piscotty two frames earlier.
2. San Francisco signed OF Peter Bourjos, who batted .205 with a homer and four RBIs for Atlanta earlier this season, to a minor-league contract and expect him to report to Triple-A Sacramento.
3. Oakland purchased the contract of LHP Jeremy Bleich from Triple-A Nashville, optioned RHP Josh Lucas to the Sounds and transferred RHP Andrew Triggs (arm) to the 60-day disabled list.
PREDICTION: Giants 4, Athletics 3

Preview: Cubs at Padres
Gracenote
Jul 14, 2018
After breaking out of his slump with three hits in the series opener, Anthony Rizzo could find himself batting first again Saturday as his Chicago Cubs continue their three-game set against the host San Diego Padres. Rizzo snapped an 0-for-21 skid in Friday’s 5-4, 10-inning victory while hitting leadoff for the second time this season.
Rizzo tied the game in the ninth inning with an RBI double and the Cubs completed the comeback in the 10th, when Javier Baez singled with one out and stole second base before scoring on consecutive errors. Ian Happ added two RBIs for the Cubs, who have won 11 of their last 15 games to pull even with Milwaukee atop the National League Central. San Diego has dropped nine of its last 12 games and needs more production from Eric Hosmer, who is mired in an 0-for-16 slump and has gone without a homer in his last 115 at-bats. The Padres have gone deep just four times in their last seven contests, including a two-run blast by leadoff hitter Travis Jankowski in Friday’s loss.
TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, ABC7 (Chicago), FS San Diego
PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (5-8, 3.93 ERA) vs. Padres RH Luis Perdomo (1-3, 7.09)
Hendricks turned in a dominant outing against San Francisco on Monday, allowing one unearned run and five hits with eight strikeouts over 8 1/3 innings. The performance was an encouraging return to form for the 28-year-old, who has recorded one victory in his last eight starts. Wil Myers is 3-for-12 against Hendricks, who is 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA in six career starts versus San Diego - including a 2-1 mark and 3.15 ERA in three outings at Petco Park.
Perdomo made his second start since being recalled from Triple-A El Paso and allowed six runs over seven innings in last Monday’s 8-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. “There’s a lot to like about the work he's put in,” manager Andy Green told reporters. “His effort’s been great.” The 25-year-old, who began the season in the rotation before his demotion in mid-April, allowed one unearned run over seven frames in a 2-1 win over the Cubs on May 31, 2017.
WALK-OFFS
1. Cubs OF Albert Almora Jr. is 16-for-48 with nine runs scored in his last 13 games, including four multi-hit efforts.
2. San Diego fell to 6-25 in series openers with Friday’s loss.
3. The Cubs activated LHP Brian Duensing from the 10-day disabled list and optioned RHP Luke Farrell to Triple-A Iowa.
PREDICTION: Cubs 6, Padres 2
